The Who to retire from touring in 2015

Guitarist Pete Townshend tells the UK's "Evening Standard" that the band intends to mark their 50th anniversary in 2015 with a world tour, which will also be their final trek.

Townshend explains that there are "still plenty of places" the group hasn't ever performed. He adds that he'd like to go to Eastern Europe and other locations where fans haven't had the chance to see the group "play all the old hits."

The Who formed in 1964. Their debut album, My Generation, was released in the UK in December 1965.
